yep my best friend kisses me on the cheek all the time. its more like a greeting than anything else. for the most part no one finds it weird so we usually feel pretty comfortable even if we are in front of people.

Yes, I did kiss a person of the same gender.
My first real kiss besides my parents is a GIRL.
It's not just a simple kiss, mind you.
It's more of a make-out session. I was 7 or 8 by that time, too. ^^;
